[edit] Welcome pt2

Stevie, I have to ask; are you a Doonhamer yourself? I lived near Dumfries for many years and I love the area. I hope you're enjoying yourself here and I look forward to helping you in any way that I can. Best wishes --John (talk) 03:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I lived just outside Lockerbie from age 12 until 17. I later lived in Dumfries (Buccleuch St) for a while. My parents still live in the area, and my sister and family live near Castle Douglas. I have many fond memories of the area. John (talk) 15:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Doonhamer

A tag has been placed on Doonhamer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 16:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jimmy McKinnell

Further to your creation of the above article. Please note that biographies should be about one person, not two. If they are both notable enough to be on wikipedia then they should both have an article, not a joint one. Might I also strongly urge you to read through these articles - WP:BETTER, WP:HOW, WP:VER. Thank you.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 23:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A request

Please don't take this the wrong way, however the articles you are creating are making work for other users as you aren't creating them in the correct format. I really would urge you to slow down from creating new articles, have a read of the articles I linked you to above especially about how to create articles. All the little things need to be right, and you aren't formatting the articles correctly. For instance the article name needs to be in bold the first time it is mentioned, as one example. I would be more than happy to help you, but I would urge you to stop creating articles for now, read up about how to create them and then start again. There is no huge rush to get all these articles onto wikipedia, there is plenty of time to do so. I hope you don't take offence at my comments I can assure you I mean well. Thank you and if you have any questions just ask. And slow down!!! :) ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 00:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Great result

Were you there? I envy you if you were. --John (talk) 05:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Here are a couple of handy pages.

Read them, and if you have any problems let me know. Incidentally, when you post to a talk page, you should sign by typing ~~~~ after your post. It inserts a datestamp and your name. Keep well, --John (talk) 17:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] North African Champions Cup

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of North African Champions Cup, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.rsssf.com/tablesn/nafrchamp.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How do I add a link to this page? - Links to uk interwiki

I had to look this up just recently. I started with the Help link on the left side. Then searched for the word 'link' which found me "Links and references". I then had to look in that page, and found "Wikipedia:Interlanguage links".

That page seems to say that your "http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/" in

http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%81%D1%82_%28%D0%A5%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%B2%29

could be translated to just "uk:" like so

[[uk:%D0%9C%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%81%D1%82_%28%D0%A5%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%B2%29]]

Let's try that here. Does that work correctly? Shenme (talk) 05:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Academy.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Academy.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sdrtirs (talk) 10:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
